DEVIL IN THE DETAILSGET MOTIVATEDFISHY FEATURESBLUEWATER LONG-HAULER

HIGHS

Versatility plus, with shore- and 12V power supply as fitted
Ideal for long hauling up the coast
A great little overnighter for those remote fishing destinations

LOWS

Cooking in the galley would be stifling and tend to odorise everything
As optioned, towing weight with all tanks full would be much higher than the average boat of this length
